Vain, I know. But that’s what happens when you’re working towards a career in social! 

So I thought, being someone who is constantly looking for new cool places in Vancouver to shoot, I thought I would do my version of Vancouver’s most Instagrammable places! Not to mention it’s CANADA DAY! ? More reason to show my home some love. A lot of these will be very similar to ones in other Vancouver posts but I don’t want to discredit them just because they are popular. So if you’re planning to visit anytime soon, check these spots out!

Another adventure in beautiful Gastown. My friend Thomas invited me to join him and his friend, Uno, on a photo-walk. It was  perfect timing because Vernice and I were actually getting some filming down in Gastown that same day. 

One place Uno introduced us to was the rooftop level of a parking lot across from the Woodward’s building. The lot was mainly empty while we were there, so it was perfect for photo / filming ops. I really do appreciate it when people can show me hidden gems in Vancouver, and take me to places I’ve never been. I’ve been trying to get more creative with my photos, as to really capture the gorgeous city that I’m lucky enough to live in. I’m making it a goal to use my blog and Instagram feed to inspire people to get active and explore their cities more, whether it’s Vancouver or somewhere else. I hope to inspire people to find something they love doing, and pursue it !

One big inspiration to me is my friend, Vernice. She made the huge decision this Summer to quit her job and chase her passion and dream. She is a social media influencer (Youtube, Instagram, Twitter etc.) that creates amazing content. Although it was tough in the beginning, she really has pushed through and is seeing rewards to her hard work now. It has brought her many amazing opportunities, and she has only just begun making it into a career. I’m so extremely proud of how well she’s doing and hope to be as bold as her one day ! 

For now, let me just take my baby steps and keep working on my IG feed ! 

Go and check out her feed @vernicet and her youtube channel www.youtube.com/msbeautyinabox

and mine as well !

I’ve been trying to explore my city more. 

One challenge that I face everyday, is trying to find new, interesting backdrops for my blog/instagram photos. With all the amazing travel photos that I’ve seen this summer, I’ve been inspired to put a little more effort into my photos than just using a plain white wall. 

One location that I recently visited is the historical Woodward’s building in downtown, Vancouver. Originally, it was built for the Woodward’s department store, and was a feature attraction in Vancouver. but when Woodward’s went bankrupt, it was redeveloped, and finally became the residential/business building that it is today. 

One feature that caught my attention the most, was the giant mural installation on the north wall inside the building. There is a 50 by 30 feet photograph of the Gastown riot, in 1971. Definitely one of the cooler art installations that I’ve seen around the city. I admire that they featured a snapshot that really captured a piece of our history that maybe not everyone would know about. After staring at it for ages, I even went ahead and researched about the scene captured. (If you know what I’m talking about, you can read more about it here ! http://thetyee.ca/ArtsAndCulture/2010/02/17/GastownRiot/) 

If you haven’t been, I definitely recommend checking out the Woodward’s building, whether you’re a local or a tourist. There are some cool photo ops in and around the building, and being there definitely made me feel a little more connected to Vancouver’s history. 

More soon,
